Anyone know if the 44mm diameter includes the chrono pushers, which, as designed, are basically an extension of the case, at least in appearance? If not, seems hat watch is going to have the appearance of a watch that is 2-3mm more in diameter, say 46 or 47mm.

44 does not include those measurements. Most watches are measured by the diameter of the external bezel. It wears huge mate. Bigger than other 44 AP's as well due to the design of the pushers.

Wonder how long before J12 has the blue dial version - seems that it should be nearly the same time as the changes are few. Seems only the dial and sub-dials are different - case, hands bezel etc appear the same. I just like the blue dial more and I only want one Schumi.

Unless they try to pass on the large dial rings then will be rejected ...

It seems that the subdial rings of the watch in your pics have acceptable thickness and finish.. that leaves the thick datewheel ring. Like slaughterer62 mentioned, a thinner datewheel ring could possibly allow a little printing on the right, allowing for the datewheel position to appear more accurate. :)

+1 Could we expect to see this on the V1 release ? that is still an unknown...

Yes, it looks to me that the subdial rings have been updated, to correct thickness and finish. I just checked the pics at intime.co, they look good now actually. The datewheel ring is another story, and its frustrating to potential Schumacher buyers, why so much effort has been spent on making this replica and they still allow such silly, preventable flaws on the dial. Once you see the flaws, you cannot unsee them. I am not taking the plunge for this watch just yet.
So much hype, and such a pity... ;)
